Manchester City have been in a slump of late, losing five consecutive games, however, the return from injury of Belgian international Kevin De Bruyne has been a shot in the arm and has brought new hope to the team. He has been unavailable since his injury two months ago and his contract is about to draw to a close next year. In the face of contract renewal rumors, De Bruyne chose to remain silent, not mentioning anything about his personal future, but only emphasizing that he will do his best to regain his best form. And manager Pep Guardiola revealed that De Bruyne's stay will be entirely up to him.
The 33-year-old Chieuwendibouni has been a revelation in his comeback campaign, and talk of a contract extension has been reignited. Faced with questions, the Belgian star said frankly: "I really don't know my future. During the recovery period, I put everything down for a while, and now I just want to get back to the best state as soon as possible. Whether I extend my contract or leave at the end of the season, this will be a key season in my career at City. To be honest, other people's opinions don't matter to me, I just want to play my best soccer."
For his part, City leader Gordiona kept the contract extension under wraps: "I don't know anything about the specifics of the contract extension. All I know is that we have a system. The final decision on whether Chieuwdiebny stays or goes is up to him. Just like Schwarz and other players before him, we all want them to end their careers at City in the best possible shape."
